Cheers Irving, will have a proper look at that over the next couple of days. Looks like I could learn a few things from it..!

It's Dean's fault. I'm paranoid about deflection...!

Hey what.??? . . . . Don't be blaming me I had nothing to do with it you read into my posts what you will.!!!. . . To quote Manuel from faulty towers " I Know Nothing". . Lol

Just want to ask why you had that diagonal brace put so low down.? . . . . Looks to me like could be in the way if you have larger material on the bed or use a vice etc.?

That is a good point but I doubt it'll affect me too much. My work area is 30x20cm max and most of what I do will be smaller than that. If I need length I can go across but I can't conceive having to work on large bits of stock. Famous last words and all that - heh, this is just a mini-mill that's ended up a bit over-engineered!
